Well, I haven't posted in a while...

Anyway, I've been on HRT for a bit, and have had my eyebrows waxed, but I don't really do much else in the way of presenting yet.  I'm still kind of waiting on my hair to grow out (got it cut short over the summer and it's a bit awkward at the moment) and to get some electrolysis done thoroughly on my neck.  I also took a break over the summer from HRT due to my long-term girlfriend leaving me, which didn't really help anything.  For now I'm kind of just aiming to be a bit more androgynous publicly, working with changes i can be comfortable with.  Here are a few pics.

Ok, im not expecting customers today so this is what I'm wearing to work

Michelle, you're going to lace and cinch it up aren't you?

Cori,
    You have nice basic features to work with, if you go full-time you might consider having a little nose reconstruction. The bridge is a bit masculine, it can be feminized a bit other than that you look very nice on the verge of pretty. I have the same problem with my nose and a crease in the bridge that makes me look aggressive along with war scars in my brow so I don't show my mug shots here so's not to scare anyone.

Thanks.  Yeah if I could afford it I'd have a lot more than just my nose/brow worked on (my jaw is nuts IMO), but I was sort of thinking about that and my adam's apple at least.  I have some scarring from my younger years as well, on my upper lip, a bit inferolateral to my mouth, along my right cheek, and above my left eye, but I can't do much about 'em.

For the time being full-time, when it comes, I likely wont be able to pass I don't think, but I can't keep putting it off forever.  Surgeries are something I can work toward later when I'm not a broke student.

I think your jaw looks fine I wouldn't worry about it, scars won't affect your ability to pass, look at Tina Fey she was attacked and given a nasty cut and she isn't going to have it fixed either and she's as nice as cis women come. Just the nose redo and possibly a trach shave in time and you'll be good to go!

I need an entire head transplant but alas I already have plenty of bills to pay first, so you're not alone kid!

Cori I'd say you definitely have androgynous down. In fact if I saw you on the street (especially in something like the outfit in picture 2) I may think you were just a tomboy. I don't see any problems with you passing down the road.

@Cori,

You have a nice face shape for hormones to feminize and as Shantel points out the nose needs work.

@Shantel,

Does make up cover the brow scar? I have a scar, fortunately a wig covers it up near my hairline. I have sun tanned seared line at the top of my chin which make up softens but still a noticeable line. Some thoughts.

Hey everyone! I'm new here and just started my transition- had my first laser treatment for beard removal today and came out to a close friend... aka it's officially begun!! I'm super excited to see what HRT will bring me (starting when I get back from holiday travels in Jan). Also my hair is much longer in the back, about 2-3" below shoulder.

Here are a few pics... What do you think?!

Girl, everything looks fine, and your brow is not as bad as mine. I have plenty of other facial features that are feminine enough, but my forehead is basically the worst-case scenario.

This is me now, still feel if I started blockers earlier I would look better

Alexis, you are basically what we all wish that we could look like.

You look even better in that one! Wow! 

Just realized how pale I am...

Why is being pale so bad? I wish that I were more pale.
